Lexington Farmers' Market

Finding this Farmer's Market was a pleasant surprise while we were looking for a coffee place. They had several rows and a whole block of vendors. We grabbed breakfast sandwiches from one of the vendors, fresh baked goods, and some local artwork. If you're in the area on a Saturday morning, I highly recommend making a stop here.

I love this Farmers market! So much variety, under cover, and great selection and prices. The people watching is GREAT! You can buy tokens with a credit card for booths that are cash only.

Not much better than the farmers market on a beautiful August Saturday morning! All of the vendors are always so kind and the produce is great. Love whenever there are creative vendors with art, jewelry and other goods! Never a bad day here!

Pleasant surprise during my visit to the city. Market was packed with great vendors and a lively crowd. 10/10 recommend!!

The Saturday market in downtown Lexington is a fairly large one, easily overfilling the small roof and expanding into a block of city street which is closed for the occasion. The selection included a variety of vegetables, but this being Kentucky there was also a beer cheese stand and an ice cream truck. Selection and quality will vary, of course, but here one has the luxury of being choosy if one wants to spend some money on fresh vegetables.

I had an early morning errand. When I finished, I found myself at my favorite Lexington market! This little market never ever disappoints!!! The produce and products are fresh and delicious!!! Since things are changing for me these days and I will soon become a regular visitor instead of farmer owner, I plan to book my stays @ the C21 Hotel just a block from this market. If I am in Lexington this market is a MUST!!! Don't miss it!!!

Call me basic, but I love going to the Farmer's Market on a weekend morning. There are plenty of options every time I go, and I end up being way too excited by some very delicious vegetables and fruits.The flowers are also a lovely visual bonus! The clear signage of who grows locally is appreciated (also the current signage that distinctly mentions masks are required and sanitizer is provided).There are so many great vendors that I usually have a hard time making it through the entire market, but there are also vendors that make me spend extra money. I had not seen ANY muscadine grapes this year, but surprisingly, I managed to pick up two pints at $5 apiece when I went to the farmers market last time! Also, there's huge community involvement - West 6th has been there, Drinklings coffee and Turtleback Ridge brewing from out of town have shown up, there are OPTIONS.

This is a year round market in Lexington and has wonderful selections from local farmers. I like that each vendor has a sign that shows whether they grew the products they are selling and I tend to avoid those who don't. You will find fruits and vegetables, meat products, CBD oil, alpaca products, fresh pasta and sauces, food made to order, fresh flowers sometimes the olive oil vendor, sometimes the beer folks... it all depends on the weather! At the height of the market you would be amazed by the beautiful choices of products. As you can see from my photos, there's nothing better than the farmers market. I go here frequently and bring cash, but there is a guy to swipe a card and get tokens if you need it. After spending cash here I usually hang around downtown and have brunch!

Parking in paid in lot across the street. Great variety of items fruits vegetables baked goods.

This was a surprisingly great farmers market! My friend and I were visiting Lexington for the weekend, and we decided to walk over to the market from our Airbnb because they were having a cold brew festival that day! The market had some many more stands and vendors than I was anticipating! Some of it is covered because there's a pavilion in the park (it's summer and I wanted shade), which was great. There were produce vendors, flower vendors, food vendors, and more. My friend and I live in Nashville, which is a larger city than Lexington, but we both felt that Lexington's market is better than our own. It was definitely in a small-ish area, so everything felt very close to each other (but aren't most farmers markets like this?), but there so much beautiful produce and great food! And the prices were great! My friend wasn't starving but wanted something to snack on so we didn't overcaffeinate at the cold brew festival, and should found a vendor that was selling pieces of toast with butter and homemade jams for a SINGLE DOLLAR. I don't think there's anything that inexpensive at our hometown farmers market! Or anything so beautifully simple! On this Saturday morning, the market was busy, and there were kids and dogs and people shopping. And it was just a really fun atmosphere with some really great products. If I lived in Lexington, I'd be shopping and getting recipe inspiration from this market on the regular!
